Heart String's COMPLETE! and gifted!
 

I finally finished Heart String's. I posted pics of it through out the process and even posted a tute on how I made the blocks.

I used Pittsburgh Pam's method of mitering the borders, FIRST TIME! I think they turned out okay.

The top is machine pieced. Back is pieced all the same fabric.

Quilt is hand quilted. Approx 106 HOURS invested in quilting it!

Ran out of the binding fabric which is also the backing fabric. So used about 20" of left over binding from my youngest nephews quilt.

The quilt was gifted this past weekend to my eldest nephew for his graduation.

Let me know what you think!

It's beautiful!!!!!

What a gorgeous scrappy quilt and looks like its owner agrees :) Well done on the hand quilting.

Great quilt - and your nephew looks like he thinks so too.

OOOOOH! Golly, that quilt is beautiful. I just love it. You did an awsome job on it. He's a lucky person.

You did a great job on this quilt.

Love it! I"m almost finished mine,and I love the way you put yours together- the border and sashing just add more interest to it. Well done.

Thats a very cheery quilt.

Now,I really like this string quilt. It is so bright with lots of color.

It's clear that this young man loves the quilt. I just wonder if he truly realizes just what a treasure he has with a HAND QUILTED quilt. Good job!

What a cheerful quilt! I just love your color choices.

Love it! Great job

Very nice- the colors just glow!

A handsome quilt and recipient

What a great job you did. It's just stunning. I'm sure your nephew will get many, many years of warmth out of it.

Really beautiful.

What a bright and happy quilt! Well done.

His smile says it all! Beautiful and will be loved!!

I just love it. Very nice work!

Awesome graduation gift! :)

Great job!!! Thanks for sharing it with us. I'm sure your nephew will treasure it.

Beautiful job and he looks happy with it. I love the colors. Sue

I really like your color choices and the balance you have worked out through out the quilt. The color blue and the narrowness of the sashing lets the accent rest on the squares. Enjoyable to look at.

I think if he doesn't like it ....Send it my way LOL What a great quilt!!!

I absolutely love this - I have played with this string pattern, and really want to make a whole one some day - hmmm...well - this makes me want to do it all the more - BEAUTIFUL!

great job:o

I think he is one lucky guy and that your quilt is absolutely awesome! Nice work.

Your hand quilting really makes it all stand out! Looks like a warm and welcome quilt. the colors are beautiful and the pattern and piano key border very striking.

Yours is one of the prettiest string quilts I've ever seen. Love it! I really like the blue sashing and the piano keys border. Awesome job!!:)

Looks like a great guy quilt to me.

Gorgeous and hand quilted! Oh My. Sure hope he appreciates it. He does look like he likes it! Thanks for sharing pics and the tute.

Oh Golly is right. Anyone would be proud of that quilt.

Beautiful! I never used to like scrappy quilts, but over time I have come to like them and yours is a very nice one. Great job.

It's beautiful & he does look appreciative. I never thought I was a string quilt person but I've seen so many nice ones that others have posted that I think I've changed my mind & may need to do one...oh my, add that to the ever growing list :)

That is one good-looking kid with his equally good-looking (well, actually beautiful) quilt! WTG, girlfriend!
